I am a vegan and somehow we (me and my six year old son) have ended up with two pet chickens. They run around the yard all day having fun and sleep in the coop at night to be safe from predators. They are hens and will start laying eggs soon. We don't eat eggs because of the inhumane conditions that battery hens suffer but our chickens are happy and free. Is is wrong to eat their eggs? They will lay them either way. What should we do with them if we don't eat them?
